THE PROBLEM
The influences shaping boys are changing.
And the consequences are reaching our classrooms.
The headlines are becoming impossible to ignore. Misogyny, sexual harassment, violence and harmful attitudes towards women are raising serious questions about the influences shaping young men.
From the manosphere to pornography, highly sexualised media and the normalisation of violence as entertainment, boys are growing up surrounded by powerful and often conflicting messages about masculinity, sex, power and relationships.
These messages don't stay online. They shape attitudes, expectations and behaviour in our schools.
Girls are experiencing disrespect and harassment. Female teachers are confronting sexist attitudes and challenges to their authority. And some boys are disengaging, uncertain about their place in the world and what it means to be a man.
School leaders are left navigating increasingly complex behaviours and attitudes that undermine the dignity, safety and culture of their communities.
You want to protect your students, support your staff and build a culture of respect. But where do you begin?
What does it mean to be a man? What is expected of me? Where do I belong? What is my strength for?
At a time when boys need guidance, many are receiving contradictory messages. Some encounter influencers who offer distorted answers about power and relationships. Others hear so much about what is wrong with masculinity that they struggle to see what is good about it.
Boys need more than warnings about what not to become.
A culture of respect doesn't happen by accident. It begins by forming young people who recognise their own dignity, respect the dignity of others and understand what it means to love and live well.
Boys deserve a positive vision of masculinity, one that calls them to develop character, take responsibility and use their strength for the good of others.
You know the young men you want to form.
We can help you get there.
We understand the challenges facing schools. You're being asked to respond to increasingly complex influences on boys, while ensuring your teachers feel confident, your students are supported and your school culture reflects the values you stand for.
You shouldn't have to navigate these challenges alone.
For more than 20 years, Choicez Media has worked alongside schools and education systems, equipping educators to teach sensitive and complex topics relating to sexuality, relationships, human dignity and character formation.
We've brought that experience together in TELOS, a practical, whole-school framework that gives you the resources, formation and support to lead with confidence.
You are the heroes walking alongside and forming your students. We give you the tools to help form the young men they can become.

Two ways to bring TELOS to your school
Choose the approach that meets your school's needs, whether you're starting with one year group or building a whole-school culture of character, purpose and service.
This is what TELOS is designed to help you build.
Because you're not just shaping behaviour today. You're forming the men of tomorrow.
The influences shaping boys today are powerful, pervasive and often beyond the reach of parents and teachers alone.
Schools have a vital role in the primary prevention of violence and harm. Working alongside parents, they have a unique opportunity to shape attitudes, challenge harmful influences and form young people in dignity, respect and responsibility.
When we fail to seize this opportunity:
Schools cannot control every influence shaping boys. But they can make a profound difference.
By working in partnership with parents, schools can help prevent harm before it occurs and form young men who respect the dignity of others and use their strength for good.
The attitudes we help shape today will influence the relationships, families and communities of tomorrow.
A Whole-School Approach to the Formation of Young Men
Give your teachers the confidence, your boys the positive vision and your school the framework to build a culture of character, purpose and service.
